@Aaron-Studer Why the constant rebuilds? Are you just trying out different OS's?

Different OS's, Applications, etc

I use many different VPS providers, and it looks like CloudatCost just isn't going to work for me.

Both Digital Ocean and Vultr re-build VM's in less then 1 minute, without error everytime.

I love the idea of one time cost, but clearly I was only dreaming. No many issues for the service to be usable.

Righto, well I guess not every service suites everyone

Re-imaging a VM is childs play. Really should not be an issue.

Both Digital Ocean and Vultr have free $5 trials. I think if you tried one of them, you would be amazed in the difference.

Free $5 trial? Sense this makes not. I'll have a look anyway I'm not complaining, I got my server for free.
Admittedly, I haven't done much with it yet.

And it's worth everything you paid for it. Nothing.

Anyone else having issues access their panel?

Yep, it is down right now. I can still access my site/VM for now though.

It's slightly annoying that it has rebuild issues. But it's a pretty trivial thing since it only impacts you when it doesn't matter - when the system is already offline. You just give it a few minutes and re-image again if it fails. I've had to do it several times and reported to them about it and it is something that they are looking into fixing. But of all things, it's immensely trivial.

How does "free" and "not free" go together like that?

scottalanmiller

Panel is down here too.

VMs are fine, just the panel is offline.

@scottalanmiller I think we are going to have to agree to disagree on this.
